  5. Practice applying touch up paint. Get used to sraying, brushing, or using one of our paint pens before using it on your auto paint.
  6. Choose good painting conditions. For best car paint repair results, find a place (like your garage) that has low humidity, is not in direct sunlight, and is at least 50°F for brush cap bottles and paint pens, and at least 70°F for car spray paint.
  7. Prepare your car paint for paint repair. Clean the auto paint area you want to touch up using soap or wax and grease remover. If your auto paint is rusty, remove all traces of rust with 220 grit sandpaper or a wire brush, and apply Rust Away (sold in our accessory store).
  8. Apply primer or clearcoat to your car paint. If the surface is bare metal, you need to apply primer first. Use very thin coats of clearcoat. Let it dry (overnight for best paint repair results).
  9. Apply a basecoat of your paint color. This is the actual auto paint color you ordered to fix your car paint. Apply several thin coats to get the level of the repaired paint to match the level of the surrounding car paint. Let it dry overnight.
  10. Apply clearcoat to your auto paint. Apply several thin layers of clear coat, letting it dry between coats (about 10-20 mins).
  11. Make your car paint smooth and shiny with rubbing compound. Wait at least three days, then apply rubbing compound to the the entire area of car paint you fixed. This will make it smooth and shiny. Wait at least 30 days before waxing.
